Who this is for

This package is for limited companies such as:

  • Social media marketing agencies managing feeds for brands
  • Influencer & talent management agencies
  • Creator-led studios producing content for multiple platforms
  • UGC and short-form content agencies (TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts)

Typical income and billing models

  • Monthly retainers for account management and content
  • Fixed-fee campaign packages (launches, product drops, seasonal pushes)
  • Percentage of brand deals / sponsorships arranged for creators
  • Revenue shares on affiliate or performance campaigns

We help you separate fee income, pass-through ad spend and amounts collected on behalf of creators so that revenue and profit are clear.

Common allowable expenses

  • Software – schedulers, analytics tools, Canva Pro, editing apps
  • Cameras, phones, lighting, microphones and small studio kit
  • Freelancers – editors, videographers, designers, copywriters
  • Platform subscriptions – music libraries, stock footage, templates
  • Travel to shoots, events and brand activations
  • Giveaways and competition prizes (with correct tax treatment)
  • Office / co-working costs, broadband and equipment
  • Professional indemnity and business insurance
  • Marketing your own agency or roster – ads, website, branding

We also explain how gifted products, PR packages and personal vs company expenses should be treated so you stay on the right side of HMRC.

What we need from you

  • Business bank statements and any company card/PayPal accounts
  • Sales invoices / statements for retainers, campaigns and brand deals
  • Contracts or simple summaries for major creators and brand partners
  • Purchase invoices for software, kit, freelancers and travel
  • Payroll reports if you employ staff
  • Details of any revenue shares owed to creators at year-end

With this we can reconcile income, separate client/creator monies, calculate corporation tax and file your accounts and CT600.

Quick FAQs
Q: Are gifted products taxable?
A: If gifts are in return for content or promotion they are usually taxable. We’ll show you how to record them so the value is captured correctly.
Q: I collect money from brands and pass most of it to creators – is it all my income?
A: No. We’ll split out agency commission vs amounts held on behalf of creators so you’re only taxed on your true margin.
Q: Can I put my phone and camera through the company?
A: Yes, where there is genuine business use. We’ll choose the simplest method (asset or expense) depending on cost and usage.
Q: We have international clients and platforms – is that a problem?
A: Not at all. We just need to see which country clients are in and how platforms pay you so VAT and tax are handled correctly.
